About types of supplier discounts

In the Supplier discount codes (AP204000) window, you can specify whether for each discount code the discount is unconditional or is based on specific conditions. For conditional discounts, you can select the type of conditions affecting the application of the discount. Then, when you create discount series in the Supplier discounts (AP205000) window, you can specify particular conditions of the selected type.

• You can specify for each supplier whether line discounts should be applied to item prices or to item extended prices.

• To apply line discounts to item extended prices, you select the Item extended price in the Apply line discounts to field on the Calculation settings tab of the Supplier discount codes (AP204000) window.

• Once you have created discount tiers, you specify the break amounts accordingly: for line amounts or for prices.
  

• The discounts with the Manual check box selected in the Supplier discount codes (AP204000) window will not be applied automatically or selected as the best-available when a user saves the document.

• While automatic discounts of all levels are applied when the document is being saved, you can apply a manual discount to a particular document by using the appropriate window, Purchase invoices (AP301000) or Purchase orders (PO301000).

• You can apply line-level discounts on the Document details tab of the appropriate window once you select the Manual discount check box for a particular line and select the discount code of one of the applicable manual discounts.

• You can apply manual group discounts and document discounts on the Discount details tab.
